That would be awesome if they did.

I think this was my post, I didn't say they did remove the time restrictions I said THEY SHOULD! It really would create a less hectic work environment not to mention dramatically lower the stress and accident potential of the job, plus alleviate bottle necks for simple things like soda or water refills Not to mention the plethora of time actually opened up for rides Just make it so if you wanted a meal at say 4 you get it then couldn't get another for 1 or 2 hours after that. Not to mention freeing up the snack times that eats a huge chunk out of time too. And I get the one snack thing fine, but if there was something else you wanted how about a discount of 20-30% on subsequent snacks. Not to mention self serve drink stations that scan a barcode on a cup or wristband for daily/seasonal glasses the regular small medium large drinks would not have this barcode it could be done with QR codes as those seem fairly easy to change.

I might offend someone but I really think Six Flags needs to re-evaluate their season passes/ pricing. Between an incident with season passholders at Coasters After Dark and an incident at Fright Fest, Something needs to be done fast.

I can't help but think Six Flags is very well aware that they attract/market to a very acting-out type crowd. It's not an easy thing to talk about, but I wish they would change their game plan. Raising the gate price would be a good start...

I knew something was going on last night. There was a group of teens huddled around the whack-a-mole in County Fair. I was actually looking for someone to tell them a fight might be starting. I figured the games worker called someone and when I came back, there was cops and security there. When I was leaving, another group was in front of Carousel Plaza gifts taunting each other and all 20 of them started sprinting to Orleans Place. By the time I was to my car, there were sirens from what I can only assume were backup coming in.

I agree with what other people are saying. Raise pass prices and filter out some of the troublemakers.

Making commercials that feature a more family atmosphere, non-coaster rides, etc., could help in the long-run. Six Flags as a whole has gone after the "quick market" with big/high thrill rides. It would be a perfect time to change the way they market and make commercials as the parks are all completely saturated with thrill coasters (a truth many coaster fans don't want to hear, sorry guys. What they already have is sufficient and awesome!). This is in addition to all the acting-out/babysitting issues. Someone could say it all better, but that's just my 2 cents.

Sadly that's how you know most teens today are very impulsive. No offense to any teenagers on this forum because I'm a teen as well (well barely). What Six Flags needs is to be more family friendly and in my opinion need information about your behavior record at any school. If that happens we can leave the bad teens out and the good teens in with 4.0 gpa's.

Just went on Yelp and several people have already posted one star reviews who were at the park last night. I agree with the others in regards to raising ticket prices. Between the horrendous lines and kids/gangs it’s getting completely out of hand.

^It looks like there's also going to be TV's. After the events of last night, continuing to install a bunch of sports bars does not really help in trying to give the impression of a more "family friendly" park.

Screamscape posted a couple of links, including a video of just one of the many fights, and 25 minutes of audio from the police radio scanner from Friday night. I listened to the entire recording and it's pretty crazy...like 10 fights, vandalism to SW Territory, people running through the crowds shirtless pushing random guests...multiple agencies called for as much assistance as possible. I can't imagine being there that night based off the scanner audio, videos, news articles, and Yelp and TripAdvisor reviews from Friday night. I'm honestly nervous to be there past dark now. This is not a good look for SFGAM at all, and I think this will scare people, especially families, away.
